Nine o’clock is the time of day that Councils bury the poor, the isolated, and the forgotten. These are the funerals that no one attends.

ice&fire confront the disturbing rise in the number of ‘paupers’ funerals’ in modern-day Britain, in this experimental new play that retraces the stories of four individuals buried in the same communal grave. The Nine O’Clock Slot is based on true-life accounts where heart-breaking stories find comic touches and uplifting conclusions.

Performed in the industrial underground spaces of the Red Gallery in Shoreditch, the play will take you on a downward journey from the world of the living to the off-limits world of the dead and dying. Fusing film, choreography, and spoken-word poetry with skilled physical comedy and even some song-and-dance numbers, this is a 360-degree immersive theatre experience.
